DOVER – Two Garrison City residents were arrested in Salem on Wednesday morning after police found them inside a vehicle with sheets and cardboard covering the windows.

James Vigeant and Katie O'Leary-Valdez, both 25, and of Dover, were arrested at a rest stop on Interstate 93 on a number of charges.

At 9:30 a.m., police discovered the vehicle and noticed the sheets moving inside the car, according to Salem Deputy Police Chief Shawn Patten. Vigeant and O'Leary-Valdez were found in the backseat.

Vigeant told police he did not have identification on him and gave a false name. Police later learned Vigeant was wanted for an electronic bench warrant for not showing up for court dates at the 10th Circuit Court in Hampton for possession of a controlled drug.

He was taken into custody for the outstanding warrant and also charged with false reports to law enforcement.

O'Leary-Valdez confirmed Vigeant's false name to police when the two were being questioned. She was also in possession of a small amount of heroin and hypodermic needles, which Salem officer Nick Turner found she was hiding in her groin area. She was charged with falsifying physical evidence, possession of a controlled drug and hindering apprehension.

Patten said it was “hard to tell” whether the two were living in the car.

“(O'Leary-Valdez) told officers they were hiding out,” Patten said, adding that she is married to a different man.

Vigeant and O'Leary-Valdez are being held at Rockingham County jail.

Patten said the Dover and Hampton police departments helped in identifying Vigeant.
